Huma Abedin Engaged to Billionaire Alex Soros: Ex-Husband Anthony Weiner ‘Thrilled’ for Her

Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff Huma Abedin is engaged to billionaire Alex Soros. The happy news broke on Wednesday, with sources saying Soros proposed six weeks ago. The couple celebrated their engagement in Italy.

Abedin’s ex-husband and disgraced politician Anthony Weiner expressed his happiness for her. “I am so happy for Huma,” Weiner told Page Six via email. “They are extraordinary people and I wish them much happiness.” Soros also shared a romantic proposal photo on Instagram.

A friend of Abedin’s of more than 15 years said the relationship was smooth. The friend added, “After many tumultuous years for Huma, she is relaxed and happy and in love.” The engagement marks a joyous new chapter for Abedin, who has faced many personal challenges.

Abedin, 47, detailed her struggles in her 2021 autobiography, “Both/And: A Life in Many Words.” Weiner’s life was turned upside down when he admitted to being involved in a sexting scandal in 2011. The scandal ended Weiner’s political career and also took a toll on his marriage.

Weiner’s past and present

Weiner’s career and marriage were further damaged by additional revelations of his sexting. He even went to jail for sending inappropriate messages to a minor girl. Weiner infamously used the nickname “Carlos Danger” during these exchanges.

Since 2019, Weiner has attempted to hold a variety of professional roles. He has worked in crisis PR, served as CEO of a Brooklyn glass company, and has hosted a local NYC radio show since February 2022. Some supporters have even encouraged him to consider a political comeback.

Abedin’s strength and resilience

Abedin filed for divorce in May 2017. She has since moved on and is focusing on her faith and personal growth. In an interview with “CBS Evening News” in 2021, Abedin said, “One of the best things I have in my life is my faith, and believing that there is always a way.”

She also spoke about her co-parenting relationship with Weiner, with whom she has a child. “He’s my co-parent, and I learned the whole truth, I accepted it and moved on… I wish him well. I hope he wishes me well. I think that’s what he would want,” she said.

A new love story

Abedin and Soros, 38, the son of billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, were first linked earlier this year. They posted a cozy photo from a Paris restaurant for Valentine’s Day. Abedin confirmed their relationship with a sweet message, “Happy Valentine’s Day.”

The couple attended the 2024 Met Gala together in May. Abedin wore a green dress with butterfly-shaped appliques designed by Erdem. Soros completed his look with a gold bug pin on a gray tux and bow tie. Their appearance as a couple attracted praise and attention.

Support from friends and colleagues

Abedin’s friends and colleagues have expressed their happiness for her. A former senior Clinton aide told Page Six, “This is a classic Clinton World couple. Alex is the perfect match for Huma.” Another friend added, “She works so hard and she deserves happiness. I just hope she’s happy – she’s been through a lot.”

This engagement is an important milestone for Abedin. It symbolizes her resilience and ability to find love and happiness after difficult times. Her relationship with Soros represents a new beginning that is full of promise and joy.

Huma Abedin’s engagement to Alex Soros is going to start a new chapter in her life. Despite past challenges, she has found happiness and love. Her friends, colleagues, and even her ex-husband Anthony Weiner are very happy for her. As Abedin embarks on this new journey, she continues to inspire people with her strength and resilience.
